Hi Everyone! I am trying to write a Card Captor Sakura Story. I like the anime very much. I would like it if you would read and review, Giving me ideas, on how to improve. This is my first time.

Chapter 1

Sakura was spacing out. She had been doing this a lot today.

Tomoyo asked shaking her lightly "Sakura, Are you alright? You haven't really said anything today."

Sakura sighed sadly "Richard has left us all. Mina too"

Tomoyo whispered "I know"

"He said he'd be careful." Exclaimed a girl with dull emerald eye.

"Sakura there is nothing he could have done. You know that just as well" answered Tomoyo.

It had been two years since that dreadful day.

Flashback

The blue haired boy tapped her in the shoulder.

"Hoe!" Sakura spun "Richard?"

"Yeah! I have been calling you for last 10 minutes where is your head at?" Richard asked panting.

"…"

"I am leaving tomorrow as you know!" he said still catching his breath.

"Yeah" Sakura replied sadly.

"The plane destination has changed. " he said.

"What? Why?" Sakura asked ready with another set of question forming in her head.

He sighed "Sakura, Mina needs me."

"When will you be back?"

"I don't know. I don't know if I will come back." He said starring at nothing particular.

"…"

"You know how Mina and I have a connection?" Sakura nodded "She is stuck at the Mayan site"

Sakura gasped "But that place just had an earthquake."

"Yeah, well I joined the search team. I just thought my connection to Mina might make it easier for us to find them"

"Just be careful" Sakura asked. They walked for sometime just talking.

"Promise me you will be careful" Sakura said as they said their final goodbye. Sakura so badly wanted to go to the airport but she had a midterm.

It had been a week since Richard left.

Sakura sat down in front of the TV switching channels when something got her attention. It was some news about the Mayan site Mina was at and Richard had gone to too. She gasped. The site had collapsed and all rescuers, searchers and archeology students were pronounced dead. The news said that it was for sure that no one had survived.

End of Flashback

Today she was graduating from her high school. She missed Mina and Richard very much. Richard use to make fun of Sakura about how she was never going to complete high school because of her hate for Math.

Sakura sighed for the third time.

Eriol stared at her "Sakura, We all miss them."

"I think he knew he was going to die" suddenly Sakura said

Chiharu stared at her "Ok Sakura, you have finally lost it"

Sakura "The way he said goodbye. I don't think … he … he expected to die before meeting her though, but he said he didn't know if he'd at all be coming back"

… The ceremony continued…

She was very tired when she had come home last night. She had visited the place dedicated to them. (All the friends together built a makeshift memorial place for them)

Sakura looked at her alarm clock. "Oh shit! I am going to be late." In an instant Sakura was up off her bed, showered. After grabbing her breakfast she slipped into her shoes and ran out.

She usually met her gang for below a cherry blossom tree. She headed there.

Jamie stared at Meilin who wanted to know when Syaoran was coming.

Sakura asked "Tell what?" as she made it to their spot with 10 minutes to spare.

"Syaoran will be coming here." Answered Eriol

"Oh, who is that?"

"Our cousin" answered an ecstatic Meilin

"He is coming tomorrow. He wanted to get settled here and take care of some business before starting school in the fall with us."

"…"

They all took off in different directions for their work.

All the girls worked at a company called "Friends Corner" (watchya think of the name, any better suggestions?) It was a bookstore - craft store - music store - computer center - and a breakfast place in one. While the guys worked in different places

Subway, Future shop, Radio Shack.

After completing her last client for the day Sakura grabbed her purse and headed with all the other girls to the place where they met this morning.

After exchanging greeting Eriol told Tomoyo that Jamie would be picking her tomorrow because he had to go the airport.

"So what are we doing today?" asked Sakura.

"I thought we could go to the river front and roller blade" answered Meilin

Then that is what we'll do see you there in 2 hours. She said heading towards home. She had to get home cook dinner. She and her brother had an understanding. She cooks - he cleans... He cooks - she cleans…(lucky her she made a bigger mess among the two.)

After making dinner she checked her emails and mails. She also made some appointments and changed her clothes and headed out.

"I can't believe he is actually coming" exclaimed Meilin

"He was suppose to come last year itself, but because of how things were there he couldn't come." said Eriol

"Hi all!" exclaimed Sakura

"Late as usual I see" Takashi said earning a slap from Chiharu.

After sometime all the boys decide to race.

"You know something I think Meilin is right. Sakura might be just in for it." exclaimed Tomoyo.

"Huh! What? Tomoyo" Sakura warned.

"Oh it's nothing Sakura. We just were going to set you and Syaoran up…" Meilin exclaimed.

"Oh No. You are not doing any of that." stated Eriol firmly.

"And why not?" Meilin counterattacked glaring at him.

"You are not doing anything like that Meilin. Remember the last time, how it turned out?" Eriol firmly stated.

"You are such a spoil sport." Meilin cried.

After an hour of skating… "I am bored" said Meilin

Me too, everyone agreed.

"Let's go watch a movie" Sakura suggested.

Every one agreed then got into their car, and went to silver city.

"Sakura, wake up already! You are going to be late for work" called out Touya

Sakura was in her training room oblivious to this. She completed last of her exercises and came back to the present time. She went to shower, put on her work uniform and headed out the door after grabbing her breakfast.

"Otou-san, have a nice trip." She said as she headed down the road.

"I swear that girl is oblivious to life itself." Touya commented.

Her father just laughed.

When she reached her usual spot to her surprise no one was there. "What's going on?" She asked more to herself and checked the watch. There were twenty minutes before the work started. "Where is everyone?"

Then she heard a car to pull up. A smile appeared on her face as she recognized the car license plate. "Here I thought you all made a different plan and forgot about me" she said.

"S-a-ku-ra?" asked Takashi.

Sakura nodded.

"I guess there is a first time for everything." Takashi said laughing.

"Yep! This is the first time u came before earlier than ten minutes" Sakura said and everyone laughed at that.

(In This story Sakura does not have magic and so far she doesn't know Syaoran yet. This morning her father has gone to a meeting. Touya always does a séance and looks into the future (he can do that) whenever his father has to go out.)

"So Meilin, What's going on? I thought you said you were going to with Eriol, to pick what's his name." asked Sakura

Meilin laughed "I wanted to, but my boss said that he couldn't give me the day off. Oh and HIS name is 'Syaoran Li'."

"Sakura, how can you manage to forget his name?" asked Tomoyo

Everyone laughed. They all part as usual.

She soon found out that she would have to fill in for a guy name Jason, who worked at the Tim Horton's in the store. She had just come from her break.

"Hi, how are you sir?" Sakura asked her customer

"Fine thx. I will have a large English Toffee, a medium Mocha Latte and also a dozen of donut please."

"That will be 10 dollars and 80 cents."

She handed him everything, wished him a nice day after. (Have to make her look like she's actually working .) She continued with other customers. Soon the day came to an end.

Meilin got her last customer done and headed with everyone out.

Meilin said "I wonder if Eriol went to work or he had the day off, thanks to Syaoran. I can't believe I get to see him."

Sakura laughed "You sound more like a girlfriend than a cousin"

"Who says what you see is what you get." Tomoyo said and then went to explain "Meilin and Syaoran were engaged, you know our culture, and she is a very distant cousin"

"Oh, I will never get these culture differences." Sighed Sakura.

Every just stared at her. Afterwards they all just went in their own direction.

While heading home she grabbed some groceries.

The next day went about the same way for the most of it anyway.

"Sakura are you coming to the club tonight" asked an excited Meiling, when they met up after their work for the day.

"Yes I am." she replied.

She was humming to herself thinking about what she would wear, when someone stopped her in the road….

What do you think happens?

"Can you tell me how to get this address" asked a young man not much older than her… She pointed the direction and walked…There was something about him but she couldn't place her hand on it.

With it still on her mind she took off in the direction she was walking in before being stopped. She reached her home changed did the cooking, and then went to take a shower.

She looked at herself in the mirror. "Touya I am going out and will return really late don't worry about me" she told the man that had just entered.

"During a week night?" asked Touya

"Don't you start with me! I work and am independent and will be starting university coming fall." she answered.

"Ya ya I know" he was saying when she started to head down the stairs and all you suddenly hear is "IN THAT?"

Sakura rolled her eyes, "Yea! You got a problem with that she said glaring at him."

He returned the glare "YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE IN THAT" he exclaimed
